You will not be shocked at the news that people running for federal office have often “fudged” their resumes, pretending to have accomplished things or been places that they’ve never done or never been.
Voters, if they support that candidate, tend to shrug their shoulders and look the other way. But what should we do with Representative-elect George Santos of New York? Santos has lied about more than where he worked or where he went to school. George Santos has created an entirely new human being in such glorious and wondrous detail that it took five a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html" target="_blank">New York Times reporters spread out over two continents to unravel it.
Santos missed his calling. He easily could have been a spy 50 years ago, having created such a marvelous legend that he could have passed as a harmless American despite his real identity as a Soviet agent.
Santos ran for Congress in New York’s 3rd congressional district on Long Island. He ran as the “full embodiment of the American dream” according to the Times. Indeed, he said he was the son of Brazilian immigrants, which may be true, but about the rest of his resume, no one is really sure.
The Times says Santos “catapulted himself from a New York City public college to become a ‘seasoned Wall Street financier and investor’ with a family-owned real estate portfolio of 13 properties and an animal rescue charity that saved more than 2,500 dogs and cats.”
None of that is true. Baruch college, from which Santos says he graduated, has no record that he ever attended. The Wall Street firms for which he says he worked have no record of him, either. His animal rescue group was a scam.

Santos apparently held one fundraiser for the pets that the supposed beneficiary says she never received a dime from. He claims to have owned 13 properties but was evicted twice.
And Devolder Organization, the company he claims he ran? It’s nowhere to be found.
There was also little evidence that his animal rescue group, Friends of Pets United, was, as Mr. Santos claimed, a tax-exempt organization: The Internal Revenue Service could locate no record of a registered charity with that name.

It seems he has found his natural position. You have to be a liar to be a politician. My only surprise is with what he has said, he sounds very much like a demoncrat. Glad I am not in his district.
Santos read Maobama’s book, apparently. I understand that he arrived at his victory party under sniper fire!
He should have taken lessons from the Clintons if he wanted to set up a phony charity.
So he’s like Barack Obama and Joe Biden, right?
That’s assuming the Communists at the NYT aren’t simply lying.
I mean, certainly expose frauds wherever they are, but jeez, a fictitious pet rescue organization.... That's pretty hard hitting journalism.
So Santos pulled an Obama.
In a court case, he could argue ‘precedence’.
RE: It seems he has found his natural position. You have to be a liar to be a politician.
Doesn’t this disqualify him from taking his seat in Congress?
Heck. If the ignorant “voters” are dumb enough to believe their lies, they should elect them. They deserve fraudulent politicians .
Fiction in Action. Perhaps even an illegal alien, yet to be revealed. Given the great number of average People in Congress, this guy could be a star. Or at least”serve” long enough to get his lifetime pension.
Has the IRS done anything about Hunter yet? How paintings has he sold and for how much?
No, of course not. Elections have consequences. Voters beware!
I am withholding judgement till “da nang” dick comments.
Joe Biden to Santos: Ha! You’re just an amateur at this, son.
But bragging about being a flanker back at a historic black university is ok.
> Doesn’t this disqualify him from taking his seat in Congress? <
Before 1969 the House had right to refuse to seat a member. Then the Supreme Court said that was impermissible. So I guess all they could do now is impeach him.
Stealing Joe Bidens tactics…. Worked for Pedo Pete why not give it a shot.
